Questions?

Submitted by James Lah on

I am the Planning Coordinator for 2014 Bryne Justice Assistance Grant to design a Wellness/Mental Health Court for the Aurora Municipal Criminal Courts. Part of our grant has dollars set aside to do a intercept mapping for the gaps in our delivery system. I have looked locally for a moderator and have been unsuccessful. I reached out to our state JAG for assistance and they referred me to you.

Prior Assistance from BJA NTTAC
Yes
Please describe the type of assistance that was received and from whom

Another project received technical assistance on an unrelated grant dealing with women who were charged with prostitution. The program needed assistnce with role definition of team members.

How did you and/or your organization use the assistance that was provided?

I was not involved in that process other than being an outsideobserver coming in on a new project. Some of the individuals who were involved in the women charged with prostitution program will be part of the Wellness/mental health court. I have set up a whole day retreat for team building to be held on 2-27 to help address any carry over into my program which is the Wellness/mental health court.

Performance Metrics
How do you anticipate that the requested assistance will address the problems?
The request is to obtain a moderator to help our team conduct a sequential intercept mapping planning. Presently myself and the Presiding Judge have held over 42 collaborative meeting with individual stakeholders and providers. It is now time for all of us to get togeether with the major planners to create a complet and comprehensive Gaps analysis so that our court can address the gaps and to focus our energy in bridgeing resources to fill the gaps. The goal is to then make sure our particiapnts are not failing or falling through the cracks due to these gaps.l
